I am not an expert, but I believe you want to make sure your P level is between 4 and 7%. Here is an older link that can lead you to lots of other good papers on the subject. In addition, if you read through 4552 there is a lot of good information right there as well.

Steven,
I believe it means that at higher gold thicknesses there is a higher probability of hyper-etching of the EN by the gold bath.
